In the TikTok, Gómez performed a sort of one-handed cartwheel and landed awkwardly on her ankle before crumpling to the ground. Her dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy immediately rushed to her side.
You can watch the wince-worthy video below

While the actor did perform in children's musicals from ages 5-12, Gómez credits her dancing skills mostly to TikTok!
She told Parade that during the long pandemic months, she taught herself dances on TikTok.
“I did the ensemble group numbers for the musicals I was in. Honestly, I wasn’t a standout. They usually put me in the back!"
"Then I joined TikTok when COVID kicked in and that’s when I started teaching myself trending dances by watching them on repeat. Learning TikTok dances put me in a happy place while we were locked down and I’m so grateful for it.”
We're so glad she did! And we're so glad she's mending nicely!
